The miniature flow-control devices generate streams or sheets of high-velocity directed air that improve the high-lift aerodynamics of wings.

Superseding AMCA Publication 511-21, AMCA Publication 511-21 (Rev. 12-22) outlines technical procedures and the proper presentation of data for the certification of air-control devices through the ...

The wettability properties of graphene hold promise for the realisation of flow control devices. Here, the authors demonstrate that the degree of water penetration through a nickel mesh coated ...

Wind energy relies on efficient wind turbine blades, which act as airfoils, structures akin to an airplane wing. Air flow control accessories similar to those found in aircraft improve the turbine ...

DARPA has awarded Aurora Flight Sciences a phase 2 contract for its CRANE (Control of Revolutionary Aircraft with Novel Effectors) program, following wind tunnel testing of a small-scale X-plane ...

Modular Devices, which is backed by O2 Investment Partners, has invested in two Michigan-based cleanroom providers, Flow Cleanrooms and Technical Air Products. No financial terms were disclosed.
